In this talk, we'll explore how you can securely access your home server or homelab from anywhere using a managed Wireguard VPN (Virtual Private Network).

With Headscale, an open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server, we can forward traffic from a cheap, rented VPS (Virtual Private Server) to devices in our home network added to our tailnet.

This way you don't have to open any ports on your devices at home towards the world wide web to be able to access services running on them. Thereby you mitigate a lot of the risks coming with a publicly accessible server.
